Academic Conduct and Honesty

Union Graduate College is dedicated to teaching its students the most productive academic approaches, the best professional practices, and the highest ethical standards. We believe these goals will develop graduates who conduct themselves with dignity, who are recognized for their honesty, and who are productive in their respective fields. Academic honesty is one critical component of the college’s purposes and ideals. Academic honesty is observed when persons think critically and independently, when they act with integrity, and when they distinguish clearly between the work done by others and their own work. The faculty demonstrate these qualities in ways appropriate to their own vocational fields. They promote academic honesty in their students and the college supports them with rules for examinations and for citing literature sources, and defines disciplinary consequences.
